Video: Reclaiming the Power of the Sacred Feminine
Presented by the Association for Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology & Health
In this experiential talk, author, counselor, and teacher Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D. explores birth as an empowered, conscious, and transformative rite of passage. Drawing from her book, The New Return to the Great Mother: Birth, Initiation, and the Sacred Feminine, she offers insights into reconnecting with the natural intelligence that guides the birth process.
Isa discusses how to consciously invite the presence of the Great Mother into every stage of birth and create a supportive energetic field that fosters safety, empowerment, and trust. This talk also offers valuable perspectives for partners, caregivers, and birth professionals seeking to work in harmony with the sacred intelligence of birth.
